Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in our first International congress entitled ‘Endourology Today’.

Our aim is to arrange an interesting and educational conference. We have ensured that there will be live video coverage of surgical procedures performed by top experts from Croatia and abroad. Especially for the occasion we decided to provide coverage of ureterorenoscopy surgery utilizing both flexible and rigid instruments incorporating lasers and miniPCNL techniques. In conjunction with the ‘Richard Wolf’ company, we have arranged workshops for those attending the conference, so that they can try the latest instruments and equipment. We hope that the case reports selected shall enrich the experience fo those attending and encourage useful discussion amongst colleagues.

Finally, we hope that you will spend your evenings in a relaxed atmosphere, and that you will enjoy your stay in the Šibenik/Vodice Hotel Olympia **** in April 2012.
